Follow Up....

....Thanks to everyone who had encouraging and insightful words for me yesterday. I appreciate it. I'm wondering if I need to change up the routine a little in the morning. Trying to get myself completely ready before the twins wake up seems to be an impossibility. They wake up as I get up. BUT, this morning? Griffin got up at his regular butt-crack-of-dawn hour. And accidentally piddled on himself when he went to the bathroom (such a dude!). He got dressed before he ate. And let me tell you. The morning was a breeze compared to what it usually is. We only had one Griffin/Erin tussle.

... And now... a bullet list of things I was able to accomplish because I didn't need to have a show-down with Griffin:

• sorted our laundry mound....sheesh. Can't even imagine how Katie does it with two more bodies to add to the list!
• ran two loads of laundry through the washing machine
• put away all the dishes that Collin had to hand wash last night.
• loaded the dishwasher in the hopes that all the cleaning stuff will do it's magic and we'll be able to have clean dishes sans dishpan hands.
• put on make-up!

Oh, and Nana? BRING IT! *winks* I do so love me some Nana Cupcakes... Nana Cakes... Nana ANYTHING!
